How It Should Have Ended Part2 (The Continuation)

Chapter 14

"If you're looking for trouble, go look elsewhere," she warned, seemingly unafraid. "Leave him alone."

The men looked at each other in confusion. They took a step forward, then hesitated.

Woo Bin shook his head from behind Hye Jin and wordlessly urged the men to leave.

Both men gave a slight nod, bowed and then left.

...

Yi Jung watched in fascination through the glass window of the arena as Hye Jin tried to protect Woo Bin.

"Umm...anyone want to tell her that those men work for him?" He pointed at Woo Bin.

Jan Di hushed him and peered closer. Hye Jin's face was fearless, while Woo Bin looked too shocked to move.

It was the cutest thing she had ever seen.

...

After the men left, Hye Jin gave a huge sigh of relief.

"I can't believe I scared them away," she said, as she relaxed her stance. She looked at Woo Bin with concern. "Are you okay?"

"Uh..." Woo Bin was speechless. He recovered after a few minutes and looked at her amusedly. "Why did you think those men would hurt me?"

Hye Jin looked away, slightly abashed. "I heard your friend ask if you broke your leg beating up some guys before. And I just assumed those were the guys he was talking about." She looked at him doubtfully. "They look like they beat people up for a living, you know?"

Woo Bin would have laughed out loud if he hadn't seen how serious and worried Hye Jin was for him.

He grinned at her. "You think you could have taken them?"

She shrugged. "Well, I do have a black belt in Karate." She looked at the arena doors. "And I was kind of buying some time hoping your friends would arrive and help."

Just then, the doors opened and Ji Hoo, Jan Di, Ga Eul and Yi Jung came out.

"Sorry," Ji Hoo said, apologetically looking at both of them. "Yi Jung ate some bad sushi earlier so we had to wait for him to finish in the bathroom." He shook his head while pinching his nose, though his eyes had a mischievous glint on them. "Be thankful you weren't in there."

Yi Jung looked mortified. Before he could speak though, Ga Eul pulled him aside. Jan Di heard Yi Jung mutter "I'll get you back for that" to Ji Hoo while Ji Hoo just chuckled.

...

"So," Yi Jung began, as they sat at a nearby noodle house eating dinner. "Have you girls thought of what kind of horrors to put us through as punishment for losing the game?"

Jan Di looked at Hye Jin. "I think since Hye Jin won it for us girls, she should decide."

Everyone turned to look at Hye Jin. She shrank back in her seat, unused to all the attention, looking even smaller than possible.

"It's okay," Woo Bin urged, giving her a small smile. "We all agreed to the consequences of the game."

Hye Jin sat up and a huge grin appeared on her face. "I think I have an idea."

...

"We're doing what?" Yi Jung exclaimed, as he sat in the clubhouse with the rest of the gang.

The former F4 clubhouse wasn't just a man cave anymore. The girls hung out there frequently with them too.

"We're doing a Kdrama marathon," Ga Eul grinned at him excitedly.

"So we're just going to sit here and watch a show nonstop for an entire day?"

The girls nodded in response. Jan Di was excited. Since she got into medical school, she hadn't had time to watch shows on tv. The fact that she managed to pull Ji Hoo into this doubled her excitement.

"Sitting with the girls watching a show doesn't sound so bad," Woo Bin remarked, and Jan Di saw Hye Jin give a shy smile.

"As long as we have refreshments, I don't mind," Ji Hoo stated, and Jan Di beamed at him.

They planned to get food delivered to the clubhouse throughout the day.

"How long is this supposed to be?" Yi Jung asked, still unconvinced.

"Well, it's 16 episodes so...around 16 hours?" Hye Jin replied, holding up the dvd boxed set.

Yi Jung scowled. "That's 16 hours of my life I'll never get back."

"You've wasted more hours than that on lesser things," Woo Bin reminded him.

"At least they didn't ask us to wear dresses or follow them around while they did girly things all day," Ji Hoo told him, while he sat beside Jan Di on the couch.

The girls all looked at him, and Yi Jung could see the wheels turning in their heads.

"Ji Hoo, stop giving them ideas!" Yi Jung scolded, as he sat down beside Ga Eul. "What are we watching again?"

Hye Jin held the dvd up for them to see. "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon."

...

Woo Bin stood up to stretch and get a drink of water. He looked back at the couch and saw the rest of them fast asleep. It had been a long day – they had to take a few breaks in between – but they managed to finish the show anyway.

"What did you think?" he heard a small voice say, and he turned around to find Hye Jin standing behind him.

"I liked it," he said, truthfully.

Her eyes widened. "Really?"

"Yeah." He gave her a playful grin. "I like short, fearless, and strong women."

...

Jan Di lay snuggled on the couch with Ji Hoo. They had a blanket draped on top of them. Her head rested comfortably on Ji Hoo's shoulder, and she stared at him as he slept soundly, a small smile frozen on his lips.

She had overheard Woo Bin and Hye Jin's conversation, and she couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of what the future might hold for the both of them.

She looked over on the other side of the couch and saw Yi Jung and Ga Eul also snuggled comfortably together. She knew that no matter how much Yi Jung joked around, he was seriously in love with her friend.

Her eyes saddened as she thought of Jun Pyo. She had no idea how he was doing, but she hoped he was happy, at least. She said a silent wish for him, as she remembered the guy she once loved.

Gu Jun Pyo, I hope you find someone who brings out the best in you, and makes you appreciate and love yourself even more. And I hope that when you finally find that person, they will stay.

Ji Hoo shifted slightly, and Jan Di thought for a moment that he had woken up. His hand found hers subconsciously, and he took it and gave it a light squeeze before he relaxed his hold. She stared at the rings that adorned their fingers.

Their promise to have a future together.

She gazed at his serene face and silently reaffirmed her love for him.

My Ji Hoo,

You are the love of my life...and the life of my love.

You are my today, and all of my tomorrows.

I love you, and I will love you until I die.

And if there's life after that, I will find you and still love you then.
